ABSTRACT:
Global warming is a clear existential threat, and its impacts are very dangerous. The increase in CO2 levels across the world is explained by the greenhouse effect. The high levels of CO2 in some areas trap the Sun’s energy within the Earth itself instead of properly reflecting it back into space, which is detrimental for the environment as the global temperature will slowly begin to rise with the addition of more radiation. To combat this, a few carbon capture systems have been implemented around the world. A key issue is that these systems cannot capture carbon from the root sources and are mostly in low carbon dioxide density areas. Our project is aimed at increasing the efficiency of current carbon capture technologies and specifically factory emissions. The purpose of our project is to make it cost-effective to separate CO2 from flue gas and therefore reduce carbon within the environment. Specifically, Purifi will take in gases from a factory and use a solution to liquify CO2, which will then be cooled so it can be stored as a liquid.
